Derived Characters of Chordates• All chordates share a set of derived

characters• Some species have some of these traits

only during embryonic development• Four key characters of chordates:

– Notochord– Dorsal, hollow nerve cord– Pharyngeal slits or clefts– Muscular, post-anal tail

Notochord• The notochord is a longitudinal, flexible rod

between the digestive tube and nerve cord• It provides skeletal support throughout most

of the length of a chordate• In most vertebrates, a more complex, jointed

skeleton develops, and the adult retains only remnants of the embryonic notochord

Page 6: The animals called vertebrates get their name from vertebrae, the series of bones that make up the backbone There are about 52,000 species of vertebrates,

Dorsal, Hollow Nerve Cord

• The nerve cord of a chordate embryo develops from a plate of ectoderm that rolls into a tube dorsal to the notochord

• The nerve cord develops into the central nervous system: the brain and the spinal cord

Page 7: The animals called vertebrates get their name from vertebrae, the series of bones that make up the backbone There are about 52,000 species of vertebrates,

Pharyngeal Slits or Clefts• In most chordates, grooves in the pharynx

called pharyngeal clefts develop into slits that open to the outside of the body

• Functions of pharyngeal slits:– Suspension-feeding structures in many invertebrate

chordates

– Gas exchange in vertebrates (except vertebrates with limbs, the tetrapods)

– Develop into parts of the ear, head, and neck in tetrapods

Page 8: The animals called vertebrates get their name from vertebrae, the series of bones that make up the backbone There are about 52,000 species of vertebrates,

Muscular, Post-Anal Tail• Chordates have a tail posterior to the anus• In many species, the tail is greatly reduced

during embryonic development• The tail contains skeletal elements and

muscles• It provides propelling force in many aquatic

species

Page 9: The animals called vertebrates get their name from vertebrae, the series of bones that make up the backbone There are about 52,000 species of vertebrates,

• Vertebrates– fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals– internal bony skeleton

Lancelets

• Lancelets (Cephalochordata) are named for their bladelike shape

• They are marine suspension feeders that retain characteristics of the chordate body plan as adults

Tunicates• Tunicates (Urochordata) are more closely

related to other chordates than are lancelets• They are marine suspension feeders

commonly called sea squirts• As an adult, a tunicate draws in water

through an incurrent siphon, filtering food particles

• Tunicates most resemble chordates during their larval stage, which may last only a few minutes

Page 14: The animals called vertebrates get their name from vertebrae, the series of bones that make up the backbone There are about 52,000 species of vertebrates,

Early Chordate Evolution• Ancestral chordates may have resembled

lancelets• Genome sequencing of tunicates has

identified genes shared by tunicates and vertebrates

• Gene expression in lancelets holds clues to the evolution of the vertebrate form

Page 15: The animals called vertebrates get their name from vertebrae, the series of bones that make up the backbone There are about 52,000 species of vertebrates,

Craniates: chordates with a head

• The origin of a head opened up a completely new way of feeding for chordates: active predation

• Craniates share some characteristics: a skull, brain, eyes, and other sensory organs

Page 16: The animals called vertebrates get their name from vertebrae, the series of bones that make up the backbone There are about 52,000 species of vertebrates,

Derived Characters of Craniates• Craniates have two clusters of Hox

genes; lancelets and tunicates have only one cluster

• Neural crest, a collection of cells near the dorsal margins of the closing neural tube in an embryo

• Neural crest cells give rise some of the bones and cartilage of the skull

Page 18: The animals called vertebrates get their name from vertebrae, the series of bones that make up the backbone There are about 52,000 species of vertebrates,

• In aquatic craniates the pharyngeal clefts evolved into gill slits

• Craniates have a higher metabolism and are more muscular than tunicates and lancelets

• Craniates have a heart with at least two chambers, red blood cells with hemoglobin, and kidneys

Page 19: The animals called vertebrates get their name from vertebrae, the series of bones that make up the backbone There are about 52,000 species of vertebrates,

Hagfishes• The least derived surviving craniate

lineage is Myxini, the hagfishes• Hagfishes have a cartilaginous skull and

axial rod of cartilage derived from the notochord, but lack jaws and vertebrae

Vertebrates are craniates that have a backbone

• During the Cambrian period, a lineage of craniates evolved into vertebrates

• Vertebrates became more efficient at capturing food and avoiding being eaten

Page 22: The animals called vertebrates get their name from vertebrae, the series of bones that make up the backbone There are about 52,000 species of vertebrates,

Derived Characters of Vertebrates

• Vertebrates have the following derived characters:– Vertebrae enclosing a spinal cord– An elaborate skull– Fin rays, in the aquatic forms

Page 23: The animals called vertebrates get their name from vertebrae, the series of bones that make up the backbone There are about 52,000 species of vertebrates,

Lampreys• Lampreys (Petromyzontida) represent the

oldest living lineage of vertebrates• They are jawless vertebrates inhabiting

various marine and freshwater habitats • They have cartilaginous segments

surrounding the notochord and arching partly over the nerve cord

Page 25: The animals called vertebrates get their name from vertebrae, the series of bones that make up the backbone There are about 52,000 species of vertebrates,

Origins of Bone and Teeth• Mineralization appears to have

originated with vertebrate mouthparts• The vertebrate endoskeleton became

fully mineralized much later

Page 26: The animals called vertebrates get their name from vertebrae, the series of bones that make up the backbone There are about 52,000 species of vertebrates,

Gnathostomes are vertebrates that have jaws

• Today, jawed vertebrates, or gnathostomes, outnumber jawless vertebrates

• Gnathostomes have jaws that might have evolved from skeletal supports of the pharyngeal slits

• Other characters common to gnathostomes:

– An additional duplication of Hox genes

– An enlarged forebrain associated with enhanced smell and vision

– In aquatic gnathostomes, the lateral line system, which is sensitive to vibrations

Chondrichthyans (Sharks, Rays, and Their Relatives)

• Chondrichthyans (Chondrichthyes) have a skeleton composed primarily of cartilage

• The cartilaginous skeleton evolved secondarily from an ancestral mineralized skeleton

• The largest and most diverse group of chondrichthyans includes the sharks, rays, and skates

Page 31: The animals called vertebrates get their name from vertebrae, the series of bones that make up the backbone There are about 52,000 species of vertebrates,

• Most sharks

– Have a streamlined body and are swift swimmers

– Are carnivores

– Have a short digestive tract; a ridge called the spiral valve increases the digestive surface area

– Have acute senses

• Shark eggs are fertilized internally but embryos can develop in different ways:

– Oviparous: eggs hatch outside the mother’s body

– Ovoviviparous: the embryo develops within the uterus and is nourished by the egg yolk

– Viviparous: the embryo develops within the uterus and is nourished through a yolk sac placenta from the mother’s blood

Page 33: The animals called vertebrates get their name from vertebrae, the series of bones that make up the backbone There are about 52,000 species of vertebrates,

Ray-Finned Fishes and Lobe-Fins

• The vast majority of vertebrates belong to a clade of gnathostomes called Osteichthyes

• Osteichthyes includes the bony fish and tetrapods

Page 34: The animals called vertebrates get their name from vertebrae, the series of bones that make up the backbone There are about 52,000 species of vertebrates,

• Nearly all living osteichthyans have a bony endoskeleton

• Aquatic osteichthyans are the vertebrates we informally call fishes

• Most fishes breathe by drawing water over gills protected by an operculum

• Fishes control their buoyancy with an air sac known as a swim bladder

Tetrapods are gnathostomes that have limbs

• One of the most significant events in vertebrate history was when the fins of some lobe-fins evolved into the limbs and feet of tetrapods

• Tetrapods have some specific adaptations:

– Four limbs, and feet with digits

– Ears for detecting airborne sounds

Amniotes are tetrapods that have a terrestrially adapted egg

• Amniotes are a group of tetrapods whose living members are the reptiles, including birds, and mammals

• Amniotes are named for the major derived character of the clade, the amniotic egg, which contains membranes that protect the embryo

• The extraembryonic membranes are the amnion, chorion, yolk sac, and allantois
